Hear from our patient, Melanie, 42, who has had a combined treatment approach using skincare, skin resurfacing treatments and facial injectables to improve her skin tone, texture and address loss of facial volume.

“Miss Balaratnam is a skilled and empathetic Doctor who has reassured and instilled my confidence in the treatments I have had in her new clinic.

She put my feelings and considerations at the forefront of the treatment plan, which we went through in detail together.

She insisted that I had a ‘cooling off’ period, which allowed me the opportunity to digest the information that I had been given. She really does explain things in an easy to absorb manner.”

Annas, 40, Beaconsfield

“I went along to the recently opened S-Thetics Medical Aesthetics Clinic in the pretty Old Town of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire and was met by Medical Director, Miss Sherina Balaratnam whose credentials as a surgeon with extensive training in plastic surgery and medical aesthetics were very impressive and made me feel that I was definitely in the hands of a safe and trusted professional.”

“Being medically and surgically trained, Dr Sherina has done an excellent job at choosing only services and products that actually translate into clinical results.

Being a surgeon myself, this is very reassuring as it again, emphasises her motto of putting the client first and only offering what she knows is of benefit. I found her to be very professional and knowledgeable, with a good understanding of the bigger picture.

In keeping with her extensive medical training, I found her consults to be very comprehensive, taking into account all aspects of skin care and general health – which is very unique to this clinic.

Dr Sherina and her team have been excellent and I have been very impressed in what has and is being achieved since opening. I certainly would recommend this clinic to all and will be returning here regularly.”

Roba, 37, Oxford

“Dr. Sherina is an outstanding doctor, who is looking after my skin for the last 5 years. Her clinic is a state of the art establishment with amazing treatments performed by one of the best doctors in the UK!

I would not hesitate to highly recommend dr. Sherina to anyone who is looking to improve their skincare regime.”

Sherina has an incredibly detailed knowledge of facial anatomy which she uses to help demonstrate and explain how the ageing process affects the underlying facial structures and how this influences the outward facial appearance.

She throughly explains how non-surgical procedures can be employed to rejuvenate and enhance a patient’s appearance. She clearly possesses a wealth of knowledge on the various modalities and techniques which are available.

Sherina is an excellent communicator and has greatly helped me develop my consultation skills. She expertly ascertains her patients’ aspirations and emphasises the importance of educating her patients so they understand the benefits and limitations of the treatments available and their mechanisms of action.

Sherina is truly an excellent trainer and practitioner, providing clear and detailed advice, in a stepwise manner, to demonstrate precisely how to achieve the desired results from the injectable products she uses.

She then oversees and directs the trainees in an extremely calm and encouraging manner to reproduce these results whilst remaining equally reassuring to her patients.

Sherina is a truly inspiring teacher and demonstrator of advanced aesthetic techniques and has provided me with a great deal of constructive advice which I have found invaluable and has given me the confidence to develop my practice. Thank you Sherina!”

Jennifer, 25, Bristol

“Dr. Sherina is the height of professionalism. Each treatment I have had has been superb.

Thank you so much Dr. Sherina and what a beautiful clinic.”

Victoria, 68, Buckinghamshire

Clinic:

“However, I am not a total martyr to natural ageing and am as happy as the next wrinkly to try various facials and treatments, particularly when they are performed at a clinic so shiny, so white, so slick, so utterly just so as S-Thetics in Beaconsfield.

Not seen it? No, because the entrance is so discreet I walked past it twice. Just a plain black door under a covered side entrance, away from the main pavement thoroughfare.”

“The clinic itself was immaculate – just as I imagined a clinic under Miss Sherina’s charge would be. It had a stylish interior of wooden floors, misty grey walls, white leather chairs and chrome fittings and the silver and blue bottles of skincare were presented just-so on glass shelving.

On the wall, a flat-screen TV showed videos of state-of-the-art face and body treatments and products that were available to purchase.

In my opinion, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a higher calibre of aesthetic clinic – it knocks spots off some of those I’ve visited in Harley Street!”

“As I grew older I hated gravity taking control of the contours of my face which made me look so tired all the time – then I was introduced to Sherina Balaratnam and her extraordinary knowledge and skills.

Our initial consultation was extremely detailed; she understood that I didn’t want to look unnaturally plumped up, just to look good for my (increasing) age. Which is exactly what I now have.

My rejuvenated face seems to have rejuvenated my confidence as well, I could not be more delighted. Thank you Sherina.”

Carol Anne, 69, Wiltshire

“Sherina really listened to what I wanted to achieve from my treatments – so I opted for some facial fillers to lift and refresh my cheeks and eyes, as well as shaping my lips.

Sherina made the whole process very easy and comfortable and I am absolutely delighted with the results. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”

Julia, 32, Beaconsfield

“Despite being extremely nervous and anxious regarding having facial fillers I am so pleased that I put my trust in Miss Balaratnam. She immediately made me feel at ease and I had the utmost confidence that she heard and understood my needs.

As a result my facial contours have been lifted in a subtle and natural fashion. I am enjoying the experience of being told how well I look by friends and family! Thank you Sherina, you are a credit to the industry.”

Louise Abraham, 40, Bristol

I recently was treated by Dr Sherina with fillers. I look very natural and have never been asked if I have “anything done” however friends often comment on ‘how well’ I look or how ‘calm’ I look, it hadn’t really struck me till now how looking calm is probably reflected in the fact I don’t over crinkle my face and my skin looks refreshed, not stressed and always hydrated.

Dr Sherina has put me on a prescription from the iS Clinical range which after my consultation with her has been specifically tailored to my skin and individual needs, amongst other things this includes Vitamin C serum and sunblock.

To give you an idea of quite how amazing these products are, I have just been asked for ID whilst buying wine in my local supermarket, I am in my 40s!!

“I unconsciously frown a lot when I work and often get ‘concentration’ headaches, so my Botox treatment at S-Thetics has not only helped me look fresher and less ‘cross’ – but I’ve noticed my headaches have also gone, which has been fantastic!”

“I have had EndyMed 3DEEP Tightening and Contouring on my face and body. The results are incredible, especially when we stopped half way through, so Miss Balaratnam could show me the instant effects on the treated area compared to the non-treated.

My skin felt tighter and firmer straight away. Three days later my skin is soft and smooth.”

Elouise 29, High Wycombe

“But I tell you what, this machine was amazing. I had one side of my face done, around the jowls (for let’s call a spade a spade, the Muddy double chin is back with a vengeance), and I swear to God, I looked in the mirror and you could see the side that had been zapped was more taut than the other. Clear as day. (Before you ask, I did get it balanced up by the end of the treatment).

Usually you have several treatments, rather than just the one, so it’s definitely a good shout if you’re worried about things sagging.”

“I recently visited Dr Sherina’s clinic S-Thetics, having been treated by Dr Sherina for quite a few years I was intrigued when she suggested I try EndyMed Fractional Skin Resurfacing.

I have to admit I was initially unsure as to whether the treatment would work for me as you need a few for results to really show, I personally like more of an ‘immediate’ result so I was a little skeptical when Dr Sherina suggested I would be a good candidate for the EndyMed, oh how wrong was I.

So far I have had two treatments and the difference has been significant, resurfacing rejuvenates skin from the outside in, improving texture, tone and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It really is amazing!

Preparation is simple, topical anaesthetic cream is applied to your face or wherever you are being treated and once that sets in it begins.

A hand held device is put onto your skin which feels a little tingly, your skin feels quite warm but not painful, as the treatment continues the heat intensifies but once again it’s is not painful. When the treatment finished I was quite red and thought to myself that it would never go down, but it did and quite quickly, in fact, I caught a train home afterwards and then collected my children from school which gives an idea as to the down time one should expect.

A day or so later my skin had a very fine sand paper feel which was unnoticeable to anyone else, and could be covered with make up, this really only lasted a day or so, after that the glow began and it only improved as time continued the final results were really noticeable about 4-6 weeks later.

So many people commented on what skin I had, even total strangers.

Best treatment ever!! Thank you Dr Sherina, so glad I took your advice. Look forward to seeing you and your wonderful team soon.”

“The EndyMed is such a fabulous treatment that I can’t recommend enough. I found the experience totally relaxing as the heated head was gently massaged around my face.

One half of my face was done first so I could see the results. The treated cheek was literally about a finger width higher than the other. I was amazed at the difference and immediately felt like I was getting myself back after having had such a difficult time with the loss of my husband.

I then had the luxurious Fire and Ice facial, which is the most in depth and rejuvenating facial I have ever had. I walked out of the clinic not only glowing, but radiating from the inside out… it felt fabulous!”

“I visited S-Thetics Clinic in Beaconsfield last month and Dr Sherina Balaratnam and her team were fantastic, the Fire & Ice Facial treatment that I experienced exceeded my expectations and I am very pleased with the lasting results, I am looking forward to visiting the Clinic for another treatment soon and would highly recommend this professional practice.”

Michele Brooks – Editor, The Riverside Journals

“I recently had the Fire and Ice facial with Visia Complexion analysis at S-Thetics clinic in Beaconsfield. Being my first ever aesthetic treatment, Miss Balaratnam was wonderfully understanding putting me at complete ease with her courteous warm manner.

Taking me through a full analysis of my skin prior to treatment, Miss Balaratnam took the time to fully analyse the problem areas in expert detail to create a perfectly balanced treatment for me. Instantly my skin felt smooth and refreshed.

Clearly this was noticeable to others as my complexion was described to me as “resembling porcelain” the next day, giving me a much needed boost in confidence. I would like to say a huge Thank You to Sherina and her team for a wonderful experience – they truly are experts in their field.”

Tracey, 36, Berkshire

“I had the Fire and Ice treatment at the S-Thetics clinic in Beaconsfield just after it opened. My pigmentation on my face from excess sun had become a bit of a problem to cover with just make up. Especially one brown spot.

The treatment not only being hydrating and rejuvenating, I realised that my main pigment problem had been improved much to my delight.”

Gail, 54, Beaconsfield

“The fact that it’s popular with celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Halle Berry and is the best selling treatment at the Four Seasons, Beverly Hills – dahling – was an added bonus for me!”

“But, what about my skin? Before leaving the clinic I was given an after care kit containing various iS Clinical products to help keep up the good work that the treatment had started. Looking in the mirror (and seeing past the ‘Pepper Pig’ flush) I noticed the surface of my skin was much smoother in texture and fine lines had dramatically diminished.

Over the next few days, my friends (and Stressed Husband) remarked on the glow of my complexion. Put it this way, a week or so before having the treatment, I was considering Botox – and now I’m not!”

“This is the second time I have had the Fire and Ice – each time I find I get compliments from people who say how beautiful my skin is. It becomes clear, radiant, flawless, the lines seem to disappear. I haven’t experienced anything so powerful.”

Victoria Birch – Editor, Elite Magazine

“After my Fire & Ice treatment at S-Thetics clinic my skin has never felt so clean and fresh. I loved the cool and soothing sensation of the rejuvenating masque, and found this treatment to be rather relaxing.

I had an event to attend on the same evening and with no downtime at all following this resurfacing treatment, my make-up free and positively glowing skin received some fabulous comments. Can’t wait for my next one!”

Elouise 29, High Wycombe

“”The Fire & Ice treatment is absolutely amazing and refreshing. I walked out of the S-Thetics clinic glowing and feeling fantastic and that was not the end… The result got even better the following day. My skin felt clear, clean and radiant.”

“Since I’ve been using iS clinical my skin regime has completely changed. I have never known a skin product to benefit my skin in so many ways. Before using iS Clinical I was extremely self conscious of my appearance as I would get the odd acne breakout, and had some acne scars which I wasn’t happy with. I would never leave the house without a full face of make up. I struggled even taking off my make up in front of people even if it was in the comfort of my own home.

In all honesty, at first being presented with the products I was doubtful as to ‘how will they help me and my skin’. After only a few weeks however I noticed a massive difference with my skin, the texture was smoother and a lot flatter, the colour in my skin was more even and clear. This was only the beginning.

After a month or so I saw continued improvement, my skin is squeaky clean and almost glowing. I began to get constant compliments about the appearance of my skin, with friends asking what foundation I have been using and how my skin looks so flawless and glowing.

The most impressive thing was that I wasn’t wearing any foundation at all. I have completely stopped using foundation now because of the iS Clinical skin products and I feel confident to not put any make up on to go out. My skin has never felt or looked so good.”

Katie, 19, Beaconsfield

“After the Red Carpet Fire & Ice treatment I trialled the iS Clinical skin care, again, a favourite with the A-listers. The face wash is a must to keep skin clear, bright and clean, and the face oils give a wonderful glow. It feels so luxurious.

I asked Miss Balaratnam about skin creams, and the best on the market. She told me that her daily ‘hero’ products work out at only £2.55 a day – less than a latte (and so much better for the skin!)”

“So the location is great, the clinic is cool – but what of the treatment? Actually I had two, but first I had the most fascinating skin consultation, like, ever. Because the machine scans your face for everything – sun damage, heat, wrinkles, pores, texture, you name it.

And you see yourself popping up on the screen in Andy Warhol-like colours as the machine reads your skin. Though there’s a kind of dermatological gallows humour to seeing your face deconstructed like this, it’s clearly very useful for anyone treating you.”
